performance, or severe engine damage and void the product warranty. Read and follow instructions in the Storage 

section of this manual.

Alternative fuels, such as E-15 (15% ethanol), E-85 (85% ethanol) or any fuels not meeting ECHO requirements are 

NOT approved for use in ECHO 2-stroke gasoline engines.  Use of alternative fuels may cause performance prob-

lems, loss of power, overheating, fuel vapor lock, and unintended machine operation, including, but not limited to, 

improper clutch engagement.  Alternative fuels may also cause premature deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets, carbu-

retors and other engine components.

10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing methanol (wood alcohol)
